Gina Gaston

Gina Gaston originally came to KTRK-TV, ABC13 in the fall of 1992 to co-anchor the then newly expanded, and later top-rated 13 Eyewitness News at 6am. She continued as an anchor/reporter until 1999 when she left the station to move to New York and work for MSNBC. She returned to ABC13 in June 2001 to again serve as a reporter and co-anchor, but this time for the Eyewitness News at 6pm and Eyewitness News at 10pm.

Among the stories Gina covered while with 13 Eyewitness News, were the O.J. Simpson trial in Los Angeles, the Rockets Championships, and the Democratic National Convention.

During her time away from ABC13, Gina not only worked at MSNBC, but also married former Houston Rocket basketball star Mario Elie (whom she met while covering a Rocket championship game).

At MSNBC, Gina was a network correspondent anchoring the 2000 presidential election from coast-to-coast, including the Florida ballot recounts. She also anchored President George W. Bush's Inaugural activities, Elian Gonzales' departure to Cuba, the U.S. bombing in the Iraqi no-fly zone, the Mid-East Violence and the South American earthquake. In addition, she also filled-in as anchor for NBC's Weekend Today show.

Whether he is giving away tickets to a World Series game and flying you private to see it, offering up a place to stay when your house is flooded or "saving you money" at Gallery Furniture, Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale is a one-of-a-kind Texan.
